while still certainly enjoyable, this entry in zahn's thrawn series fell a little flat in comparison to his previous outings. the drama often felt trite and forced. plus, it was a bit too short for the amount of plots and characters it wanted to have. most of it seems like it'll be tied up in the next book, but it left me wanting more from the anticlimactic finish of this one.
that being said, all of the usual zahn-y goodness is present. great fights and intrigue. i love how thrawn was brought-back-but-not-really. his absence left a hole that moff disra and co. just aren't really filling for me, but i do like what zahn did with thrawn here.
